Wow, what a weekend. Had to decide whether or not it was better to go to the BWI protest, or finish the abstract, which is an attempt to model and hopefully influence situations like we find ourselves in. Decided to finish the abstract. Hopefully that’s the right choice.

Working on trying to figure out why I can’t classify in WEKA any more.

Installing the latest and greatest (3.8.1)

Using this data:

Yay! So you don’t have to do a lot of preprocessing to classify in WEKA.

Read in the training data under the ‘Preprocess’ tab

Switch to the ‘Classify’ tab

(In this case) select NaiveBayes, and what to classify against – AgentBias

Build the model using cross-validation

Load the test model, selecting AgentBias to classify against

Then right-click and select re-evaluate model on current test set

Run the tests! Here’s a screenshot of classifier errors when using mean angle stats (BIG signal) That

That is a beautiful thing. The chart shows the variance of each agent for the duration of the run with respect to the direction cosine. Polarized agents (red) have a low variance and ‘explorer’ agents (blue) have a high variance. Here’s the raw output
